Acrobat Reader Version 3.0:

To print your document in duplex (both sides of the paper):

1. First download and install the ARTS Duplex utility, which provides the ability to print in duplex fashion.

2. Once installed, when you open a PDF document you will now have the two printer icons on your Acrobat viewer:

Choose the yellow printer icon and the print dialog will open.

Here in the ARTS Duplex box, choose Odd pages only OR Even pages only OR Duplex. The difference is that with Duplex the entire document will be sent to your Print Que and when it has finished printing one side, it will pause, at which point you will remove the pages from the printer, turn them over, and reinsert them in your paper tray.

When you click the Okay button, printing will resume. The trouble with this method is if you reinsert your pages incorrectly, you will print the entire document incorrectly.

We always choose print Odd pages only. After those have printed the pages can be removed and reinserted into the paper tray with the print side up (in our printer's case, your printer may require something else), then we print Even pages only.

Experiment with printing just one page at a time to discover which way your printer requires the paper to be inserted.

Make sure Shrink to Fit is chosen.

To print your document in duplex (both sides of the paper):

1. If you have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat (version 4.05), this ability is built in to the viewer. After opening the PDF document, choose Print (from the File menu) or use the printer icon. Follow the instructions as given for Version 3 above from #2.
